Time for me to shamelessly do a re #introduction for the newer people joining masto!

Hello! I am a published SFF author, poet, musician/music student and sometime-composer with major impostor syndrome. I am also a biblioholic, a literary Gothic academic (PhD in Literature). My interests outside of these spheres include cooking, language learning, binge-watching my favourite (mostly SFF/Gothic) shows. On Mastodon I mostly engage with the #3GoodThings community when I am not posting #music recommendations (mostly #womencomposers #experimentalmusic #contemporarymusic #classicalmusic with some #indie)
